Results can be displayed on screen, printed out or sent remotely to other devices

Ease-of-use and simplicity

The intuitive user interface and numerous customer-driven features make analysis work easy and simple. Just place the sample on the sample stand, start the measurement and read the result. The FOUNDRY-MASTER PRO generates quantitative analyses of materials. The analysis results are displayed on screen and can be stored in an internal database for material validation purposes. The analysis data can also be exported to an external PC with productivity tools, which enables certificates to be easily created and printed. The FOUNDRY-MASTER PRO comes with factory calibration based on available certified reference materials. In addition, the instruments software allows the calibration and element ranges to expanded using customer samples without difficulties. In this regard, even very specific calibration needs can be met.

Unique sample stand

A unique sample stand, proven Jet-Stream Technology and a superior plasma oscillator ensure straightforward and precise analysis of samples even with complex shapes and sizes from large semi-finished products to small parts. Even wires as thin as 1 mm can be accurately measured using a single universal adapter.

Spark stand deposits are minimised through optimised

State-of- the-art technology guarantees reliable operation and measurement results

The FOUNDRY-MASTER PRO uses the latest optical technology without compromise in element selection, concentration range, or the base metal to be checked. This is due to the use of CCD solid-state detectors. The readout system of the high-resolution Multi-CCD Optics with up to 30,000 channels uses highly advanced electronics and software algorithms for perfect signal processing. Tests can be performed on all standard material grades and chemical elements. The wavelength range, which starts from as low as 130 nm, enables the measurement of Nitrogen in steel. Using deep UV carbon lines improves C performance significantly. Other elements such as B, Pb, Sn or Sb also have well-defined, interesting lines in deep UV.

Typical Applications

Steel, cast iron and high alloyed steels Non-ferrous metals and their alloys AI: wrought alloys, casting alloys, etc. Cu: bronze, brass, cupronickel, etc.
Analytical mode / identification

Nitrogen in steel P in aluminium Ultra low carbon analysis Improved LODs for Pb, Si, Sn, etc. Elements such as Se, La, Te, etc.
Mg, Zn alloys, solders
